After centuries Room Finally conquer the Mars. It has an infallible tactic to take everything you have to offer. Surprised as much as the 150 MW floating monster on the sea discovered 12,000 km from Spain. Water is one of the most precious resources that people have, especially drinking water.
It is vital for the right development of human life and the prosperity of societies. The World Health Organisation He reports that around 2.2 billion people have no access to it. The increase in demand, the exhaustion of fresh water and climate change is complicated the global scenario, in addition to exerting pressure.
Faced with this challenge, the ocean is praised as a source of drinking water through processes such as desalination. The aforementioned system eliminates salt and other water minerals Mars. For a long time it is seen as a more than promising solution to tackle the problem of fresh water scarcity, but it is no longer the only one.
Spain is already taking sea water to end the thirst
Desert It appears at the most necessary moment. It is an innovative solution to produce drinking water Gran CanariaWith the help of the energy of the waves as the most important source. This European initiative tries to remove seawater through a method that does not require the electricity of the network. In this way it contributes to the durability and low -carbon -poor of the area.
The project bears the seal of the startup Ocean Oase and the collaboration of the Oceanic Platform of the Canary Islands (PLOCAN), The Technological Institute of the Canary Islands (ITC), the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ULPGC) and the Elitoral Consultant.
The financing of 5.9 million euros, whose capital comes from the European Climate Executive Agency, Infrastructure and Environment (Cinea)has permitted a total budget that affects 10 million euros for the development of the next five years.
Senalife, the technology with which Spain intends to bring down drought
Technology Desert It is based on a floating buoy system that is arranged to extract water Mars And process it under inverted osmosis without resorting to electricity consumption. An innovative system that will result in a generation of up to 2,000 cubic meters per day drinking water, sufficient quantity to deliver to around 15,000 people.
The offer produced will be integrated into the Seawater desalination station (Edam) Arucas-MoyaLocated in the northern part of the island. Before he reached this phase, the project team carried out evidence with the experimental buoy Gaia, who carried out his activity in the port of Welding palmas Since 2024.
This pilot system made a refinement of technology possible and the possibility to guarantee the wide -scale viability. Via communicated, the director of Plocan, José Joaquín Hernández Britoemphasized that “the energy transition in Canary Islands It’s urgent. Moreover, he emphasized the dedication of the body to all proposals that are familiar with sustainability.
A lower impact on the environment is a major incentive, but not the only one repairing Desert. It also offers a great opportunity for economic growth in the region. The creation of this system will draw the attention of foreign investors, produce work in the renewable sector and help to place Canary Islands As an authentic technological reference with regard to water management.
After centuries Room He succeeded the Mars Such a strategic place elevated as Gran Canaria. A scenario that contributes to this mass of energy under the sea that arrives in Spain: it comes from Portugal, works with water and is infinite.
